The building is a quiet, convenient one on a quiet soi right across the street from the Belgian Embassy. The walk to the Chong Nonsi BTS is less than 5 minutes. There are a number of god food options nearby ranging from excellent medium-price Thai, to inexpensive local Thai, to Western. There is a grocery store around 3-4 minutes walk away. The walk to Sala Daeng BTS is probably around 10 mins. There is a motorcycle taxi stand about 70m from the entrance if you like this mode of transportation. The condo is within easy walk of the areas of Silom that are hopping at night but its immediate surroundings are very quiet residential. I suspect the mansions around there are probably owned by old-money Thai families.
